[About XDA developers] theslam08:
Agreed 100%, it seems there are alot of stickies there, maybe redundant on some, but are necessary on others. There should be a way to make it distinguishable between information/guides, developments, and problems. They do need to be updated as well.

I agree, a forum might not be the best way because there might be 'lost' posts which would not work either (like the new magic thread that showed up, though I dont dissagree with that simply because the OP is correct, android is android, and the magic needs some help, maybe because we stole quite a bit from it too? lol. but still posting to 'get help' anywhere).

Is there a modification for vb that makes stickies different color than the regular topics? I never administrated vb only ipb and smf so I dont know. But that would be a big help there, then the new comers can instantly see which are informal.

Im trying to report, to help you so you dont need to spend as much time 'looking' as doing the task. Its not 'too' bad right now, when I first posted though omg it was disaster. Once the new rom comes out though....thennn its gonna be biig trouble again.

Update: I was looking at something...the first forum, named Dream. That I was actually looking at for the first time, it seems pretty useless really. A lot of the topics in there could definitely go into the development thread...OR that forum could get changed to something else and cleaned up. There arent many 'general' topics for the phone I dont think, whats general for the phone? What is the g1? Maybe but useless indeed. So maybe instead of MAKING a new forum, just change that one and clean it up. Make it a troubleshooting forum, or a tutorial section, or just updates, or something I dont know. But maybe just better use of it I think.
[About XDA developers] theslam08:
Er, im sorry if you have no time and a life, its perfectly understandable, but uh...something needs to be done in there. I cant find anything, anything at all. There are like 10 new topics every 5 minutes on the same things, 100 new posts a minute, and its a chaotic zoo. Report does nothing.

Hire some more mods or something, its so bad right now (I said it would be when the new build comes out, and well it is.)

Hope someone reads this so something changes extremely soon...

Thanks.
[About XDA developers] nir36:
It would be wise to refrain from saying things like that.

Anyways...

you should all remember that with you there are many many many other members in xda-developers posting and reading. moderators should only be moderating the unmoderated - that is, people should moderate their own posts and make sure they don't start a new thread for every little problem/question.

We have a perfectly capable Q&A section for general questions, which should be used AFTER using the search function so that we don't have 500 new threads everyday.

We have dedicated sections for each device that are supposed to help with specific device problems/applications/modding... new threads should be posted AFTER using the search function.

You can see, that thanks to the "closing" policy we now have a very tidy dev&hack section with hardly any question threads. In average, about 95-97% of the threads there, which are currently active, are development threads. about 6 months ago it was something like 60%.

In a forum as large as this, we need to keep things tidy so that it's easy to find what we're looking for.

Trust that most of your questions have been already answered. most applications you're looking for have already been developed and most device-specific modding has already been done. that's what the search function is for.

For things that weren't answered, weren't developed and aren't modded yet.. there is a button called New Thread or a dedicated thread for each issue.

I go to the dev&hack section everyday looking for things which are not related to development. I close the threads and write "this belongs in the Q&A section, thank you". I will not write each person a pm. I won't move the thread (for the same reason joel mentioned), and I won't specify a more specific reason to why i closed it. the responsibility falls on the op (This has nothing to do with me being an ass :)).

Deputies

Is it possible for the powers that be to grant moderator powers over a single thread? most of the problems in the dream developer forum stem from people being unwilling or ignorant of search or just not being able to find the thing the want in the mess of responses. If someone was willing to commit the time to keep the thread tidy, by deleating duplicate or unnessicary posts then people would be able to find what they need and not feel the need to post either another entry in the thread or a whole new thread.

I would be willing to do this on the threads that interest me and I'm sure others would too.

To Bold: Uh, I hope you know that was nothing like sarcasm. I seriously meant it, otherwise if I didnt I would have said this: I dont care you guys have lives, you need to be on the forums. ...THAT should be refrained from...I didnt though did I? No, I understand that it cant be watched over 24/7, which is why more moderators are required because its getting out of hand no matter how you look at it.

But I have "low posts" so nothing I say matters. Oh well, I know how these places run (busy forums) and was trying to help you guys out. Taking nothing from criticism is the best thing. ;) /thats sarcasm

@Baldyman1966, I did agree, although with mods above, I should probably careless. I would have said I would help although again low posts makes me nothing so w.e. Ill go on about my day, thanks.
[About XDA developers] nir36:
Alright... wow.. this must be a very very advanced "conclusion making" because I must've missed the middle part of our conversation.
[About XDA developers] theslam08:
There was no "middle"...I was very simply saying (to which you definitely took the wrong way and I have no idea why, I was being sympathetic..), its ok you guys arent here all the time.

Then I gave a solution, a very simple one. There was no attack at anyone, there was no hate, there was no anger, nothing. I simply said, I think more mods for that area should be appointed, to help it out some (and the strain on the current section mods). That was all the "conclusion making" was. Nothing more, nothing less. :rolleyes:

Is that really wrong? A helpful post?
[About XDA developers] AGx-07_162:
Poll: HELP! Section (For Android Based Devices)

One of the biggest complaints I hear as I go through topics and sections for the HTC Dream is that someone posted a topic in the wrong "place", when in fact its in the right section but there just so happens to be a million topics already posted about the same thing and creating an entirely new topic for one question is just absurd! Not so much, imo.

Topics tend to get large fast! And tend to go off topic just as quickly and the search function of this website offers little in the way of finding the answer to the question you have. Usually it leads you to other people's posts with the exact same question, which sometimes goes unanswered for days as other posts drown it in the thread.

What I am suggesting is a create either a general sub-forum under each Android device (Dream, Magic, etc.) or a sub-forum under each already established section under each Android device. For example, a help sub-forum under "Themes and Wallpapers", "Dream Android Development", "Dream Accessories", etc.

Having sections dedicated to this will keep the mother forum on topic and free from unnecessary "help me" topics, stop complaints, give those who need it a place to freely ask questions and free Mod's from having to delete and merge topics all the time, which creates confusion.

I added a poll to this topic in hopes that some votes will help persuade the powers that be. Thank you in advance for considering my suggestion. I really believe that this will catch on and help the community as a whole. I'll help in any way I can with this.
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Merged into this thread. This is already under consideration. (See post #18).

Thanks

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Jive Turkey:
I have an unusual problem with my task bars. I haven't found any posts about this, but I'm hoping that someone has seen this before and can help me. That way I won't have to hard-reset.

The problem has two sypmtoms. First, the top taskbar doesn't display properly after my device is turned on. Specifically the clock, volume, and phone icons don't display. Instead that part of the taskbar displays s2u2, even though I've closed s2u2. The icons will appear after a while, also I can click the icons fine. Seems to be a refresh issue?

The second symptom is that the left soft-key on the bottom taskbar permanently says Reminder and doesn't do anything when clicked. So not only is this button completely unusable, but I can't do anything when I get any sort of notification :(
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Tim4:
Did you try to delete S2U2?

About softkeys:

Check registry [HCU/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys], and delete both keys (112 and 113) if they exist
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Jive Turkey:
Yeah, I tried uninstalling S2U2 before I posted this thread. It didn't fix it. After posting I uninstalled the last few programs that I'd installed, including S2U2. That fixed the top taskbar issue but not the bottom. I guess S2U2 combined with another program caused that glitch.

The bottom taskbar, I think I may have figured out this morning. I had a duplicate notification so I checked the notification queue and there was about 20 duplicates. I cleared them out, hopefully that does it.

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys doesn't exist on my device.

Thanks for the reply.

How to check if i have my app to sd card or not???
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
go to terminal and:

df

see if your /system/sd/ device is being used. Did you make all the symlinks?
[G1 Android Development] exjibition:
mine is being used but also the phone memory is decreasing also. help?
[G1 Android Development] kenny9438:
thx i think im not sure...checked out that i have my app to sd thx
[G1 Android Development] wettems35:
I'm having the same problem. I did all the steps on this tutorial from maximus but when I d/l an app my intermal memory decreases and my sd memory remains the same. I went to terminal and wrote df and I don't know what to look for lol I did see system/sd or something like that though. But I'm not sure what that means. Sorry for being such a noob, I'm new to this
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
Same prob here fellas....

I followed the instructions for the Hyk apps to sd wiki tutorial.

when I check my sd card, it shows the apps

cd /system/sd/app

ls

and I can see that the /system/sd has 25MB used which sounds ok but at the same time, I only have 35MB left on the phone, it was 48 yesterday and all I've done is install apk files via my computer using adb install command.

Why is my internal memory going down and how can i fix it.
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
To answer my own question.

I think we also need to move dalvik-cache... though not really that important, it's nice to keep the 70-71mb free.

I moved the cache and it went from 35MB to 70MB free.
[G1 Android Development] skaflyer:
Keep in mind that moving your apps to sd does not move your cache for default programs. I noticed my memory dropping and realized that it was my browser, maps, market, etc cache. I followed some tutorials on here to move those and my memory hasn't been dropping anymore!
[G1 Android Development] haitiankid4lyf:
there are three directories that get increased when u install an app

/data/app - stores the apk file

/data/data - stores cache and databases that the app uses

/data/dalvik- app cache used by the system

if u move only one of the above directories ur internal space will still decline
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
su

cd /data

ls -l

this way you can see if its linked correctly- should show the app folders linked...
[G1 Android Development] gottifour:
Thanks for this! How can I tell which caches I have linked?

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shaitheatery:
OK, i've already searched the forum on this issue (went through all 12 pages of results for the words "tilt" and "gps", and while some others seem to have had this same problem, once they get down to the actual problem, the thread seems to end.

the problem is that ever since I upgraded my 6.0 wm version to 6.1 via the official att rom, my gps does not seem to work at all. and by this, I don't mean that I just can't get a lock on any satellites, but the gps itself doesn't seem to be working at all. i've loaded gpstest and after scanning through all the com ports (skipping com4 which is where it should be), it cannot find any gps device. I have downloaded the quickgps updates and the only other thing of note I would say is that I didn't load the att bloatware with the update. and because it started the moment I upgraded, I don't believe a hard reset would do much (would like to try everything possible beforehand so I don't have to reload everything)

now, if i have skipped the thread that gives the answer to this question, I would very much appreciate a link/response on this, as it's been bugging me for quite some time now. thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tilt8925kaiser:
Did you update the radio as well as the rom? Most 6.0 radios are not compatible with 6.1 roms. See the Ultimate Radio Thread for more info.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shaitheatery:
radio version is 1.65.21.18, and according to the wiki that should be a working radio for wm 6.1. lists this specific radio under the section "KAISER Radios These Radios were ripped from Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs. "
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
What program are you trying to use with for your gps? TomTom, Googlemaps?

I think I mastered getting a gps fix and I don't think you will have a problem if I help you.

Please provide

1) what gps application are you using

2) baud rate

3) are you using anything to open your gps port before you attempt to run the program?

4) did you change anything in external gps settings?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shaitheatery:
1.) well, initially i've just been trying to get gpstest to recognize the fact that i have a gps device at all, but i generally use google maps as my main gps program.

2.) for baud rate, i've been setting at 4800. admittedtly, i'm not sure what the baud rate does, but i've always read that that is the correct setting with few that say otherwise (i've tried multiple settings just to see if they work, they don't)

3.) i can't get anything TO open the gps port, as in gpstest skips com4 when searching for a device, google maps just times out trying to locate a signal (outside, clear view of the sky, before the upgrade i could get a signal sitting in my apartment on the first floor)

4.) i haven't changed anything from what it is at default (gps program port: com4, gps hardware port: none, baud rate: 4800, manage gps automatically is checked)

very much appreciate the help ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
sorry about the delay, I was at work and having issues posting a response with opera on this site because it stated I didn't have the proper tokens? No idea...

Anyhow, it appears you have all the right settings which is good. But you are definitely needing a better program to launch your gps. So stop using gps_test, as I offer you HTC_GPS_Tool, attached cab is at the bottom.

1) install cab to main memory

2) open googlemaps>menu>options>gps settings>set manually> com4 > Baud 4800 > click ok> menu select use gps

3) close googlemaps

4) open quickgps and download updates

5) open HTC_GPS_Tool>set com4> baud 9600 (yes 9600) > Click Open> "Hot Start" should be selected below it > let program run for about 45 seconds or more > DO NOT MINIMIZE OR CLOSE THIS APPLICATION BY CLICKING X OR OK

6) open googlemaps by going to start menu as it is the only option to select the application with GPS_Tool open (unless of course you have a hardware button shortcut for it)

7) You should have no issues getting a gps fix on googlemaps within 30-40 seconds for the first time.

8) However if you do receive issues restart this process and at Step 2 change Baud to 9600 in google maps but it shouldn't be necessary. These steps shouldn't be necessary everytime you want to open your gps port. However, if you encounter issues you have HTC_GPS_TOOL to help you. Always remember to update your quickgps outdoors if you plan on using it. Finally, leave your external gps settings alone.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask via pm or back in this thread, that is if mods don't lock it because your question was answered?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shaitheatery:
i just got done following all of the instructions (i already had htc gps tool installed in my quest to find something that works), and google maps came back and said that no gps receiver was found, even after setting the settings manually exactly as you said.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
ok then something is clashing with your gps. Do you have aGPS disabled?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shaitheatery:
it was enabled, just disabled with kaisertweak and am going to try the process once again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shaitheatery:
ok, we're making progress now lol. after disabling agps, htc gps tool started to actually give me scrolling text like it was working as opposed to the dialog box being completely empty. I goto open google maps, and at first get the same "gps device not found" message, but then for kicks I changed google maps to get gps settings from windows, and now it's past the initializing gps and is finally seeking satellites now. it might be because of a cloudy day today, but neither gps tool or google maps has gotten an actual fix on any satellites

thanks very much for the help so far, can't believe i didn't think of something so obvious to try :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shaitheatery:
just went to grab some lunch, figured i'd try to get a fix on the way, google maps by itself got a fix in less than 5 seconds. thank you very much for taking the time to help me out, i am in your debt :D

Can someone please tell me how to apply the screen protector that comes with the phone as it's just a large piece of clear plastic with no instructions how to physically attach it to the display!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Fru T Bunn:
It has a peel away backing which is much thinner than the protector.

I struggled to find how this attached when I got mine and have since put hair and smudges on the sticky backing. Can't wait for the new ones to come online mid May.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HandySpanner:
It's a sticker that you stick on the screen. How hard is this?!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] deechte:
Just put it on. Work cleanly though, be prepared and do it right the first time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] akash_84:
Bend the corner of the big part slightly and the two parts seperate

The part that goes onto the backing bit is what goes on screen

start from the top and smooth it down

As mentioned, work in a clean/dust free environment!

I've done it many times but even this time round, I got fluff inside - just one spec thinking as it was brand new out of the box, it wouldnt have anything on the screen and so I wouldnt need to clean it !

In removing the protector to clean it out... I ruined it

Got my new Brando one the other day which feels a bit more stronger and durable but still clear so I'll be putting that on later tonight

And now I have a air can with me too so if I get anything in the way, I can blow it out rather than trying to scrape it out
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hotlips69:
I've now put on the screen protector that came with the phone, but it feels a little thin and flimsy.

I'd like to know people's opinion of other aftermarket brands of protector for this phone as I'd like to get something a bit better quality.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] akash_84:
Same thoughts here too

I ordered a pair from HTC direct but I think looking at them now that I have them, they are the same as the originals so I will probably not bother using them

I also have the Brando version now - Not opened yet but I will open and apply it to my phone tomorrow evening - just need a dust-free environment to test it

Apparently, Brando boast they have the best protectors so lets see

It does feel a lot stronger than the original
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hotlips69:
Did you try this new Brando screen protector, and if so, is it any good?

Also, has anyone else had any experience of after-market screen protectors for this phone?
